Overall I feel Pokemon Snap provided the better experience. You've got a spin off game that pushed Pokemon into 3D. Also the writing didn't need to drop an F bomb every sentence to seem cool. The level design stayed consistent throughout, unlike DmC(on the PS3) where the levels drop off into murky design.

While both games seem to cater to younger crowds, Pokemon keeps the gameplay with an eye on making you think about making art with photographs while doing scientific research. In DmC, it shows kids that shooting tons of living beings with guns is pretty sweet. I feel, for society, that Pokemon Snap taught kids a better lesson.

And let's look at the main characters: a kid who is a photographer doing a favor for a professor vs a too-cool-for-school teenager with anger issues. Who's the better role model here?

Also: Pokémon Snap sold in excess of 151,000 copies in the first three days of its release and went on to sell 1.5 million copies by the end of the year.
